PY - 2010 SP - 3805-3813 SN - 0018-926X DO - 10.1109/TAP.2010.2078463 UR - http://www.it.pt/papjourn_pdf_p.asp?ID_PaperJournal=4869&id=1 AB - A new integrated shaped lens antenna configuration is described with frequency stable radiation pattern and phase center position across a broad 1:3 frequency band, which can be used for focal plane reflector feeding in quasi-optical radio telescope systems. The lens is compatible with the integration of ultrawide-band uniplanar printed feeds at its base and equally broadband mixing devices, like the Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB), although these are not used in the present work. Measurements on a scaled mm-wave lab prototype have confirmed stable performance versus frequency, with only +/- 1 dB directivity variation, and better than 94% Gaussicity, thanks to the possibility to impose a predefined output radiation pattern template. Simulations were performed to test the illumination of an off-set parabolic reflector by the lens radiation pattern, which confirmed reasonably constant aperture efficiency in the order of 78% across the 100% bandwidth.
